What the shiat? This guy is just Michael Steele with a scalpel. He's a cookie cutter republican bozo who has no concept of progressive taxation or proper methods to ensure the health of the nation.

Being from poverty you would think he'd be more aware or the asinine nature of modern conservatism, but hey he's rich now. He really is the epitome of GOP candidacy - a purebred first generation "fark you, I got mine".

When it comes to taxes, Carson pushed for a flat income tax by citing the biblical concept of tithing. "Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don't need to hurt him,"

Except that people aren't complaining about not hurting the guy who made $10 billion. They are pointing out that a flat tax hurts the guy who made $10, while not significantly affecting the guy who made $10 billion.

Mark 12:41-44American Standard Version (ASV)

41 And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.43 And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:44 for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

So all the GOP needs to do to win is "black it up" a little? You morons, this is why you will continue to lose. You honestly think it's about race and not about policy. You epic failures of human beings.

We like the hell out of him, but people on the left HATE him because he isn't their expectations of what a black man should be. They are the racists. Anyone who disagrees with Obama is racist in liberals' eyes...even if they back another black person.

Still a member of the GOP and I didn't see him say much about his social policies. If he's a social moderate, the GOP establishment won't give him a shot...if he's a wacky social conservative, the electorate won't give him a shot.

See Michael Steele. Yes they do in fact think that is the solution. Also note he was summarily fired after one of the biggest electoral victories in the history of the House, and his white replacement was not despite failing to take back he Senate when the deck was ridiculously stacked in their favor.

Oh, thanks for telling me that. I wasn't sure how I felt about the guy, beyond not caring for people who think God talks to them. I'm glad you're here to tell me what I think of him and why. That's very convenient.

Nah, we hate him because he's GOP ignorant conservative - nothing to do with him being black.

Please tell me more what my expectations of what a black male should be, should be.

Why would I want someone as egotistical as a neurosurgeon to be my President? How does that make them a good President? Is his qualification that he's black .... and that's it? So I guess the GOP still just doesn't get it and they're going to shoot themselves in the foot AGAIN.

But he said the best way to do that was with HSA's that could be passed on via inheritance, and that the government would still pay for the indigent. That sounds worse than what we already have. We need to get the free market as far away from healthcare as possible.

I feel like you're kind of mailing this in. Are you feeling depressed or something?

Gais... Gais... Guess what.. Gaissssss. GAIS! WE GOT A BLACK GUY!

That means we're not racist cause we have a black friend now!

Gais, Gais, This is sweet we are so not racist now. We got Herman Cain, this dude, and Marco Rubio! That's like three! Gais! THREE!!

We are SO not racist. We love minorities so much they make up .000000000001% of the party and we'll talk about them for like 10 whole minutes before stuffing them into their minority cage until the next election cycle.

HSA's are worthless.

I'm in my mid-20's and even I don't have one because I'd rather have comprehensive insurance instead of taking a chance and having to pay out of pocket for my medical expenses if something bad were to happen to me.

The average neurosurgeon is much less egotistical than the most humble president. That being said, there are plenty of reasons why a certain level of narcissism is a necessary trait in either position.

But this guy's plan is worse.Inheritable HSA's? I mean.... what the holy fark. Let's just drop the pretense that this is anything else but a way for the wealthy to further segregate themselves from those wretched poors.

Here he is on a silver platter, GOP: A black, Christian neurosurgeonwho hates Obamacare, was born into poverty, will say things for moneyis against Affirmative Action, and graduated top of his class from John Hopkins. Now don't fark it up

FTFY

/I would not want a guy cutting my head open if his basis for acceptance of failure was it being god's will.

No, we need to choose candidates like Dr. Carson, who can clearly state the conservative position and give simple, thought-provoking solutions to our problems. Also, I love how he pointed out how political correctness keeps good ideas out of the mix.

I am looking for a smart candidate with the ability to explain conservative ideas to Americans in plain English. I couldn't care less if he was white, black, hispanic or asian. Dr. Carson was a breath of fresh air.
